About the role

As one of our dedicated Despatchers, you will work as part of our amazing team in a busy and fast-paced business with great benefits and plenty of opportunities to progress your career. This isn’t like any other warehouse job, you’ll be working alongside your colleagues in a state-of-the-art facility, in one of the fastest growing online businesses in the UK.

You’ll be loading individual totes (crates) into frames which are then loaded into our delivery vans for customers. This is a manual job and you will need a good level of fitness to be able to lift and manoeuvre the totes as they can weigh up to 18kg. You’ll also be required to sort and organise totes coming back to site.

There is no need to have any previous experience as you will receive full training, but you will need to have a good level of fitness, have a good eye for detail and be able to work independently but also be a good team player.

We have a number of shift options available which include, 4 x 10 hour shifts, so you can enjoy 3 days off every week and a range of other options to meet your personal circumstances.

What’s in it for you?

Our people are at the heart of our business and without them we wouldn’t be able to deliver our award-winning service to millions of customers across the country each day. So it’s important to us that along with safe working environments, we support and develop our employees with great benefits and opportunities for career progression.

At work

Set yourself up for your shift with a full breakfast, or dinner, from £1, at our onsite subsidised canteen. We also have a staff shop where you can buy everyday groceries for a fraction of the normal price. On your breaks, we have a chill-out area where you can relax, a clubroom with pool and foosball tables, lockers to charge your phone and a balcony to enjoy the sun (when it comes out!)

Benefits

We have a whole host of benefits available to you with some of most popular being;

• Holiday purchase scheme so you can spend more time with family and friends
• Life assurance - we fund you for 3 x your salary so your loved ones will be financially protected if you were to pass away
• A range of discounts at hundreds of retailers including 15% off online shopping at Ocado Retail
• Free shares - twice a year you will be awarded the value of 0.5% of your annual pay in Ocado shares.

Career Progression

A career at Ocado Group can lead to many things with fantastic opportunities available in both Ocado Logistics, Engineering and beyond.

Situated at the back of Birch Coppice Business Park, Dordon, we are easily accessible via public transport from Nuneaton, Atherstone and Tamworth. Outside of these areas, you will need to have transport to be able to access the site for your shifts.

Don’t have a car? We offer a car share scheme where we can look to match your shifts with someone who lives in your area so that you can travel together. You can also choose a brand new bike and accessories (up to £3k) while saving on tax and NI, with our cycle to work scheme (repayable over a 12 month period).
